Measures that support entrepreneurship and business ownership, as well as creating jobs will generate the growth that we need. Companies need predictability if they are to invest.
The employment rate in Finland must be raised to at least 80 per cent. For this to happen, we must ensure that our companies have a sound environment in which to operate. Business owners must not drown in bureaucracy. It is the duty of the society to enable entrepreneurship rather than to hinder it. Entrepreneurs’ social security must be improved. We must build an operating environment in which companies of all sizes can find workers and financing.
Start-up companies generate many innovations and new economic models, and we welcome that.
